Kentucky guard Andrew Harrison seemed to mumble an obscenity and a racial slur as a question about Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky was being asked during a postgame news conference at the Final Four.

Harrison and the Wildcats were upset 71-64 by the Badgers on Saturday night.

IMHO, we should cut the ‘cats some slack since that was a particularly hard loss. My wife, a devoted UK fan, was quietly devastated by the loss.

A classless act.

We certainly need to cut some slack for the most spoiled fans in the country.

Yes, it’s okay for a black player to call a white player a f***** n*****, regardless of the situation. After all, he’s just a young man./s

Coach Cal lost his game... didn't Wisconsin know that they were supposed to lose.

Go UConn... their coach is a class act, so is the men's coach...Kevin Ollie.

Mike Krzyzewski will out-coach Bo Ryan and Duke will defeat Wisconsin handily. Wisconsin had a tough time with UNC. Blue Devils win by 10

This was humiliating for Obama in 3 ways.

First, his bracket pick lost.

Second, the black team lost to (gulp) a bunch of honkeys.

Third, the winning team’s state is represented by a successful, anti-Obama Republican Governor.

In other words, it’s another F-bomb and S-bomb morning in the White House.

Wah wah, the poor little underprivileged and entitled Harrison using a racial slur to demean a big white oppressor.

The librul to begin saturating the news cycle about the overt racism of the Wisconsin Badger team for having not enough black players.

I think that comment reveals the difference between UK and Wisconsin. Wisconsin had a gang of mature seniors.

I get that plus he's, what, 19 years old?

Conversely, these kids are coached on how they're supposed to conduct themselves at these pressers. They've been told they represent the university and he represented it quite poorly.

It's easy to be gracious in victory but in defeat he spewed out bile.

As a result, today, rather than focusing in on what a great season Kentucky had, some people are talking about this lack of sportsmanship and how the UK fans were setting fires after their loss.

Hopefully, this young man learns more from this than, "Oops, I got caught, let me show them how brave I am by apologizing on Twitter".

Congratulations to your wife's team, though, on setting the NCAA single season record for most wins.

Something happened on the way to Kentucky’s coronation (similar to Alabama in the CFP). They got beat by a Big 10 team.

We need to go to sensitivity class in order to understand the causes of the rage of this poor underprivileged and entitled black player.

So the “best team” in the country with all these 5 star athletes are going to slow the pace of the game down and work the shot clock. This is what separates Coach Cal from the upper echelon in the coaching ranks.

He gave Kaminsky a career boost.
